  1. All models present a complete case analysis where only participants with no missing data were included (n = 283). Likelihood ratio tests were used to calculate p-values. Multivariable model adjusts for all listed variables. *Green Book risk factors include current or intermittent drug use (history of IDU and current IDU), being imprisoned, having liver disease and additionally being infected with HCV on top of having liver disease.
